Chapter 93: Tips for Helping
Lu Tao didn't know if Chen Pei was willing to help Cai Changming and others, and he didn't know whether there was a "mobility index" in Cai Changming's mouth, so he didn't dare to agree to him easily, and responded vaguely: "Director Cai, I am willing to help with this, after all, this is a good thing that is beneficial to the poverty alleviation work in our county." However, I can't predict whether Chen Pei wants to help or whether she can help, but I will definitely relay your request to her, and I will also help the county to say good things and ask her to do her best to help. β
Cai Changming said happily: "As long as you are willing to help me intercede with Team Leader Chen, as for whether you can succeed in the end, it is not up to you to decide, I fully understand, thank you!"
Lu Tao said a few polite words, then hung up the phone and went to the bar to pay the bill, and then returned to the box. At this time, Li Zitong, Chen Pei and others all put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when they saw him come in, Chen Pei stood up and asked, "Lu Tao, have you finished eating?" I have to go to work in the afternoon, and I want to leave first. β
Lu Tao replied: "I'm done eating, or I'll give you a call!"
Yuan Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Pei Pei, I drove the car, or I will send you to the Finance Department! Director Li and Lin Hua both live in the family courtyard of the provincial bureau, and we happened to be on the way, so we sat in a car. β
Li Zitong also wanted to be close to Chen Pei, so he smiled and said, "I'll be fine at noon anyway, why don't you send Peipei to the Finance Department with Director Yuan!"
Chen Pei hurriedly said: "Thank you Director Li and Director Yuan for your hospitality, your provincial bureau is not far ahead, there is no need to make a special trip to see me off, just let Lu Tao take a taxi to send me over." He has to go to the Finance Department in the afternoon to do business, and I have something to tell him, so I won't bother the leaders. β
Li Zitong and Yuan Cheng heard that she still had something to say to Lu Tao, but it was not good to insist on sending her anymore, so they shook hands with him and said goodbye with a smile.
Before parting, Lin Hua pulled Lu Tao aside and whispered: "You have been in the provincial capital for the past few days! I will make an appointment with a girl for dinner tomorrow night, that girl's hometown is Taolin County, I am chasing her, I want to ask you to give me a reference, okay?"
Lu Tao smiled: "I don't know when I will go back to Taolin, if I am still here tomorrow, I will definitely go to the banquet." The girl you're after must be beautiful, so I'll go and feast my eyes on it, hahaha!"
Because there were no taxis in the alley, Lu Tao and Chen Pei walked to the big street to the west of the alley. After walking a few steps, Lu Tao told Chen Pei about Cai Changming's request for help in the new rural construction fund index.
Chen Pei tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "To be honest, Cai Changming's news is very accurate, Director Fang does have two mobile indicators for new rural construction subsidies in poor counties in his hands, which are used to prevent provincial or department leaders from greeting their hometowns, counties and cities, but there are no leaders to ask for these two mobile indicators at present." If I say hello to Director Fang and ask him to arrange an indicator for Taolin County, he will definitely agree. In fact, he asked me to come to his office this morning and asked me if any of my best friends had asked me for a maneuver indicator, and if anyone asked me, he could arrange for me a-"
Lu Tao interrupted her anxiously: "That's just right, now Director Cai begs you to help Taolin County get a mobile index, which is very beneficial to our county's poverty alleviation work, and I also happen to be participating in the new rural construction and assistance work, please strive for an indicator for Taolin County!"
Chen Pei turned his head to look at him, sighed and said, "Lu Tao, it seems that the tax work with a single business really blocks your thinking, and also restricts your ability to analyze, judge, and deal with problems. I know you'd love to help your county finance bureau get a grant for it, and I can do it, but we can't so readily promise your county finance bureau guys, or even give them much hope β do you know why?"
Lu Tao scratched his head, looked at Chen Pei with a little doubt, thought about it carefully, and asked a little hesitantly: "Pei Pei, do you want someone from our county finance bureau to check with the relevant leaders of your budget department first? I heard that there is an unspoken rule for the above to fight for funds, and it is necessary to give gifts to the clerks and relevant leaders according to a certain proportion of the funds obtainedββ"
Chen Pei glared at him a little angrily and interrupted him: "Lu Tao, do you think I am such a person? Do you think I will ask for kickbacks from your county finance bureau? It's really 'a dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people'." I'm teaching you the experience and tricks of doing things and helping people, not hinting that you're going to give me gifts and bribes, understand?"
Lu Tao actually knew that Chen Pei was not the kind of person who was greedy for money and asking for bribes, so he hesitated when he asked her just now, but at this moment she was counted down, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he apologized ashamedly and said: "Pei Pei, I'm really sorry, I spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." As you said, I joined the local taxation bureau when I joined the work, and the interpersonal relationship here is relatively simple, the business is very simple, and I have very little contact with other departments, especially the superior leaders, so I am relatively simple in thinking when dealing with relevant problems, and I really need to ask you for advice in this regard. β
Seeing that he sincerely admitted his mistake, Chen Pei nodded and said: "There are three reasons why I asked you not to agree to the people of your county finance bureau very happily: First, this morning, the people from your county finance bureau have gone to Li Tao, the deputy director of our budget department, and asked him to arrange a support index for Taolin County, but Li Tao has clearly replied to them that the indicators have been fully distributed, and if I promise to give them a mobile index now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for Li Tao? How will I work with Li Tao in the future?
"Second, if I happily agree to give your county a mobile index, the people in the county finance bureau will think that this is a gesture for me, an easy and effortless favor, and they will not be particularly appreciative, they will not be particularly grateful to you as a matchmaker, and the favor they owe you will be greatly reduced. Moreover, if I easily do something for them this time, they may climb the pole in the future, as long as there is something to fight for funds, they will come to you and me, and they will take it for granted, and once they refuse them or I can't do it, they will resent you and me, which is similar to the principle of 'promoting Mien and fighting Mi hatred'.
"Third, although I don't want their so-called gifts and kickbacks, I also have to put forward certain conditions when doing things for them, and if I don't mention some conditions to embarrass them, I will help them cheaply this time, and I will not let them remember it. If I get the subsidy of 2.85 million yuan for your county, there is an additional condition that 850,000 yuan of it must be allocated to the village where you are stationed and counted as the funds you have won for the transformation of the village. In this way, you are tantamount to doing something great for the village, and the whole village will be grateful to you. β
